A/N: Since I have nothing to do during my free time (actually, I have something that I need to do but I'll talk to my friends about it first), I decided to make a series of one-shots featuring our Kuroko no Basuke characters, just for fun. However, these one-shots will have gender bent characters or will be AUs, just to be different. So I guess I'll start with this one.


Title: Colorful

Characters: fem!Midorima Shintarou and fem!Takao Kazunari

"Shin-chan!"

Uh. Thank you for destroying the peace and quiet, Takao.

Midorima sighed upon hearing the loud voice of her over-energetic friend. She looked to her side and saw the violinist making her way towards where she sat.

They are having an overnight celebratory party at the beach for winning overall champion in the Inter-School Music Competition. Their school worked hard especially this year, and the results were more than satisfactory. They won almost all the divisions, Midorima and Takao's "Piano and Violin Duet" included.

'Why are you still awake?" Takao asked as she sat with Midorima on the sand, leaning on the huge rock.

The spectacled girl huffed through her nose. "Why are you still awake? You were so hyperactive awhile ago. Okay, scratch that. Don't answer; everyone knows your energy has no limit."

"I was asking you! Why would you even ask then take it back?! Geez…" The ravenette groaned, stretched her legs out and put her hands behind her head. She became quiet for a few moments, which was unusual.

"It's like…" Takao started, and the pianist gave her full attention to her. "It's like all of this is just a dream. I'm afraid that if I sleep, everything will be gone tomorrow." She laughed. "So dramatic, right?"

"Hmph." Midorima pushed her glasses up. "Preposterous. " She eyed her friend who was looking at the sky and found herself staring at the sparkling eyes for too long. "Of course this is not a dream. This is all real. We worked hard just to give the best 10-minute performance of our lives. And we won."

Midorima reminisced about the first time she met Takao. The girl was loud and very annoying, and the greenette's first impression of her was anything but good. Her talent, however, was no joke. Once she saw the shorter girl lift up her violin and heard her play, Midorima marveled at the beautiful sounds she produced with the instrument. The taller girl was an amazing pianist herself, so she was chosen to represent the music competition, along with Takao for the piano and violin duet.

They were polar opposites: Midorima was quiet and reserved, whereas Takao was loud and very expressive. But maybe opposites really do attract, for the combined music they produced was of otherworldly beauty. Through their music, they inspired many people. Through their music, they emerged victorious. And through their music, Midorima gained a close friend.

She smiled at the thought. If we didn't cross paths that day, my life would have remained colorless, she thought, thinking about all the memories she shared with Takao and the others, music being the root of all of it. She certainly did not intend to make a friend out of someone who was very different from her, but it wasn't that bad.

It's great, actually. She admits. Having a friend. A partner.

It's amazing. What music could do.

"I miss that rickshaw. Should we use that again sometime~?" Midorima's thoughts returned to the real world once she heard Takao's voice.

"No. You always complain about having to wash all your sweatpants, it's getting annoying."

"Well, it was a pain wearing those sweatpants underneath my skirt to begin with." The violinist grinned.

The pianist just hummed in reply, pushing her hair behind her ear. The two of them were silent for a few minutes. Only the soothing sound of the waves could be heard. Then Takao spoke in wonder.

"Shin-chan?"

"Hm?"

"Do you believe in the concept of different worlds?"

Midorima looked at her curiously. "Maybe. No one knows for sure that there are… other worlds."

The girl beside her gave a long hum.

"If there are… what do you think will we look like there?"

The pianist scrunched her eyebrows in thought. "I'm not really sure, but…" She smirked. "I'm certain that your other versions are as annoying as you."

Takao chuckled. "You're the only one who's immune to my charms, Shin-chan! Everyone else thinks I'm cute! I'm sure I'm a heartthrob if I have a boy version of myself, and then they'll squeal and shout "Go, Takao-kun!" when I lift my jersey up to wipe my sweat when we're playing basketball!"

"Basketball?"

"Yup! There just might be one world there you know, one world where you and I are basketball players. We'll practice together and do our best to win. And I know that we'll become great friends over there, too."

Midorima could almost see this: she (a he now) and Takao wearing their basketball jerseys, all sweaty and panting in a basketball game. She could see them winning, gleaming with pride as they walk into a single line and thank their opponents for the good game. Takao will offer her a fist bump, and she will return it, with a small smile present on her face.

"I'm sure that the Shin-chan there will be as obsessive as you when it comes to horoscopes too-"

Midorima interrupted her. "I hope there is."

That world you spoke of just now, I hope there is one like that.

Another colorful world like this one.

Takao tilted her head to the side, confusion written all over her face. Midorima didn't reply after that. She knew that her friend will get it.

She always did, even when Midorima tries to hide it, even when Midorima could not express herself clearly, Takao could always see through her.

The spectacled girl gave a satisfied smile a few minutes later when Takao answered.

"I'm sure there is."

The moon and the stars seemed to glow brighter.
